Tell me what methods produce luck in your worlds.
I need means alternative to horoscope-based lucky items.
Time is frozen outside of this place, so the stars aren't moving for predictions.

Luck is considered not dying in battle or random attacks.

There's no way to produce luck for that other than training.

Your assessment is correct, though I am not from a world that is an issue.
However, compensating for bad luck is part of doing everything you can to succeed.
"Man proposes, god disposes."
If you are not putting in the effort to eliminate external threats such as fate, then even putting in more practice and training than anyone else can be undone by external factors.

[rustyhonesty]

When you put it like that, it makes sense. I guess no one back home really believes in such things. We don't really even have a god to pray to.

Staying away from my brother, who is a literal bad luck charm.

Then tell him to stay away from me.

[ensuredsurvival]

That's easy enough.

Why are you so obsessed over luck anyway?

Is that stuff really going to help here?

Anyway, omamoris and omikujis- every person knew/knows about them. Also, in my school, I heard art club and soccer club arguing over senbazuru, so that too.

[accurately]

Some people have more solid baseline luck than others.
I do not believe that the fate of the universe will hinge on it, but I think I would be remiss if I did not do everything within my power to ensure my personal success.
Senbazuru is to obtain a wish from the gods. I could wish for luck, if I did so.

huh

[He's trying to understand what this guy's going on about but he's failing]

just luck?
Why not wish to never be unlucky? Then you won't need these lucky items you're looking for

[foeyay]

the word you're looking for isn't luck. it's strength.

[accurately]

No, the word I am looking for is luck.
I have strength and speed. I put in as much effort as humanly possible.
There are parts of life that a single person has no control over, and for that, improving luck is necessary.

[foeyay]

really? what are you, some game character trying to raise your stats with cheap items??

Don't rely on superstitious methods. Make your own luck.

[accurately]

Your assumption that I rely on anyone but myself is arrogant.
You're in a world functioning on magic and you call luck superstitious instead of something to be meaningfully accounted for in regards to success beyond internal circumstances.

[scarredhorns]

You're the one asking other people how they make luck.

I've never had much luck, or at least, not the good kind, so it's of no use to me. On the slightest chance I happen to have good luck, then I won't complain, but I don't go looking to make more. I'll agree that there are such things as circumstances beyond your control that affect your life.

[Like her being born with horns.]

We may be in a magical world now, but I still don't believe that good luck, be it a little or a lot, is going to make all your problems vanish into thin air. When one problem is solved, another springs up. Maybe not right away, but eventually it will.

Find an angel and rub his hair, best luck you can find anywhere!

Have you found any angels?
I assume they are possible familiars.

I'm not gonna pretend luck isn't a real thing or anything, but I don't know of any methods that actually work. Every culture has something, but whether it works is something else.

Sorry, not useful. I know. Honestly, I've always just done my best to compensate for not having any.

[accurately]

It's one of the more respectful responses I've received, even if it wasn't useful.
What methods do you use to compensate for it?

[ That's what Midorima hopes to compensate for, honestly. He's got a weird.. penchant for really, really bad luck if his daily luck is low and he doesn't have a lucky item. It's entirely possible it's a coincidence or his belief causing him anxiety and therefore causing him bad luck, but when his horoscope has good luck, he really does have extreme luck.. no one else in the world seems affected by it, but he's nearly died multiple times on occasions when this has come to pass. Alternate means to compensate seem useful because of this, particularly since he thinks he's having a bad luck day today but hasn't had any warning about it save for the consecutive shows of bad luck. ]

Luck comes in many forms, depending on culture. Some would have you scouting the field for a four leaf clover, or keeping a rabbits foot. Others liked colors, such as red. For some it was room arrangement. There’s all sorts of things, really.

As for divination, I know some are fond of reading tea leaves; I’ve always thought bibliomancy was rather neat.

[accurately]

Given the number of animal magic users here, I don't feel comfortable seeking rabbit's feet. I'm familiar with room arrangement, however, and have already compensated for feng shui. Lucky colors were something I once drew from Oha Asa, but I do not have a means of gaining an updated daily and personalized version means of telling it now.

Can you tell me more about bibliomancy?

[scension]

Does it work better if you make it complicated? Where I'm from, we just pray.

[accurately]

Praying is part of it, but there are no shrines to any gods that seem to provide luck that I've been able to easily locate.

text; un: selcouth

[sulit]

In my world, when someone looks for luck, they'll make an offering to Tymora, the goddess of Good Fortune. There's temples and shrines to her all over the place--adventurers are a risky bunch, so they seek her out and pay her clerics to bless them.

Typical offerings for prayer were copper pieces, I think. There's a saying, "A copper to the Lady returns tenfold in gold." Or maybe it's a prayer. Not sure.

[accurately]

It doesn't seem that there are any there. Is there a mobile means to provide offerings?

[ Because he'll do it. He just doesn't have any way to send offerings, same as the temples back home.. :( ]
